Halloween 2015: Clifford & Emily Elizabeth

Clifford has been Sarah's favorite since she was a baby, and I decided she would make an adorable Emily Elizabeth. I was so on top of things that I had her costume made over a month ahead of time. Sadly, Sarah got sick the week of Halloween and we couldn't go to the ward Halloween party. We still had plenty of Halloween fun.
 Sarah has been very interested in our pumpkins ever since we brought them home. We have counted them many, many times. Kelson did a cat with a moon and stars for our orange pumpkin.
 She wasn't so sure about the gooey guts.
 She did attempt to remove a few spoonfuls, but there was no chance she was reaching in there with her hand.
 I got the difficult job of hollowing out the white pumpkin. It smelled like a giant cucumber.
 Scary pumpkin!
They turned out awesome!
 Halloween morning, we ran in a 5K fun run that was part of an Eagle Scout project for a boy in our ward. Since Kelson was working evenings that week, it was our only chance to do Halloween as a family. I went as Kelson, decked out in his running garb, complete with a Ragnar medal. I was just proud of myself for finishing the whole race without walking - a first for me!
 Kelson went as Clifford and pushed Emily Elizabeth in the stroller. They were adorable.

 Isn't she the cutest little Emily Elizabeth. Ignore the huge fat lip from face planting on the kitchen floor the day before.

 Kelson and Sarah won the costume contest! The prize was a whole pumpkin of candy.
 Sarah was very pleased with this situation.
 We headed home for our traditional Halloween meal of mummy dogs. Sarah was really excited about it, but of course she only chewed the bread off. Sarah does not eat anything that contains protein.

 Daddy headed off to work, so it was just Sarah & I for trick or treating. My turn for the Clifford costume.
 It took her about 1 house to figure out that when you rang the doorbell people put candy in your pumpkin. Best holiday ever!
After about 10 houses, she plopped down in the middle of the street to count her loot.
 Checking on our pumpkins and pulling out the lights.
Happy Halloween!
